First visit, I took part in a cold water workshop and dip with Ron. Great educational session, Ron is very experienced and knowledgeable. During the dip Ron, joined us in the water and was encouraging, attentive, supportive and monitored us all the time. Thanks Ron - I can't wait for my next 'dip' and many cold water swims to come.

COLD WATER WORKSHOPS

Cold water is classed as anything below 15°C – and swimming in it safely takes knowledge and preparation. Our 1-hour Cold Water Workshop is designed to give you the skills and confidence you need to enjoy the chill while staying safe.

We’ll begin lakeside with a friendly, interactive chat covering:

  • Cold water risks & how your body responds
  • Preparation — kit, mindset & safety planning
  • Exiting & recovery — how to warm up safely after your swim
  • Then it’s time to put learning into action — join us for a short dip (not a swim) to experience cold water with guidance and support.
